On the local board there was a compare
lively small quantity of wheat offered on the
sample tables, and sellers Immediately added
the customary half cent to prices. Buying
was not particularly active, but all the choice
milling wheat was picked up by millers
Local millers are in the market to some eX-
tent again, but do not take large quantities or
grain. Receipts were 191 cars and shipments
65. Duluth reported 1876 cars on track. Fol-
lowing are the closing quotations: No. l

Flour-The market continued to be re-
ported dull by flour manufacturers and deal
ers, with nothing in sight that would natur-
ally change the situation for few weeks to
come. Local millers express confidence in
the outlook and generally think that i'll Janu-
airy business will begin to look up again. The
wheat market remains comfortably strong
considering the dullness. With a continue
ton of frmness in wheat there appears to be
no reason why the flour trade will not enter
the new year under favorable auspices.
There has none gone into store here and with
expect it during the winter. Patents, sacks,

ing between SS@9 and the poorer lots all the

of the poor cars offered to be readily taken
off by the trade.
